Reviews for the Ascendez Vous are coming in thick and fast now. Here are just some comments and links:

“’Time’ and ‘Waitress’ both have an uplifting quality about them and there is an overwhelming sense of optimism about the whole CD.… ‘Ascendez Vous’ then, a collection of 5 classic songs expertly committed to CD”

Tasty Fanzine

“Is Shepherd are one of those bands who are familiar, and yet completely new all on their own… Waitress is a brilliantly accessible song, and could easily be one of the “I-recognise-that-it’s-off-an-advert” tunes which start off as an underground hit but six months later if you haven’t heard it, your friends no longer know you.”

“Is Shepherd demonstrate with the five tracks on their debut, ‘Ascendez-Vous’, that they have firm ideas about what they want to be, and how they want to present themselves. Self-releasing your music is not usually a guarantee of polish, either in production or packaging, but Is Shepherd deliver a set of songs that don’t lack for depth and interest in their execution, or, for what it’s worth, a solid, charming aesthetic in their CD sleeve.”
